FARM BUREAU NOTES Walnut Growers to Meet on Saturday The ninth annual Walnut Growers' Institute, scheduled for next Saturday, March 5, promises to bring over 700 walnut growers from all parts of the state together, according to reports that have reached the farm advisor's office from various walnut growing sections of the state. The institute is held annually under the auspices of the inter-county walnut growers' department of the farm bureau and the agricultural extension service. The sessions will be held at the Tustin high school and will open at 10 o'clock sharp. A program of addresses and discussions considered the most important ever presented to walnut growers in California has been prepared by the committee of growers in charge headed by J. A. Smiley of West Orange. Every number on the program was requested by some district or group that considered them of timely significance this season. Marketing Head to Speak Carlyle Thorpe, general manager of the California Walnut Growers' Association, has been selected to explain the significance of other nut crops, both foreign and domestic, that have been a competition factor towards the marketing of California walnuts. Mr. Thorpe has recently made a survey of the other nut industries. Almonds, chestnuts, filberts, pecans, Brazil nuts and others will be reviewed. Codling Moth Menace What will be the policy on control of walnut codling moth for the coming season? This is one of the pertinent questions before Southern California growers at the present time. The institute will present the problem from three points of view—the entomologist, the law, and the grower. Professor Quayle, eminent and pioneer authority on the control of codling moth, will discuss the results of last year's control campaign in Southern California. The horticultural office will be represented by W. H. Wright, who has just completed a survey of packing house records showing the efficiency of control measures in Orange county last year. "Lessons from Last Year's Codling Moth Control Campaign," Prof. H. J. Quayle, entomologist, citrus experiment station, Riverside; William H. Wright, horticultural commissioner, Orange county; J. A. Smiley, chairman, special codling moth control committee. "The Past Season's Experience With the New Walnut Grade Standards," A. J. McFadden, chairman standardization committee, California Walnut Growers' Association. 12:00 m.-Regular dinner or cafeteria luncheon, high school dining room. Chairman, J. A. Smiley, chairman walnut growers' department, Orange County Farm Bureau. 1:15 p.m.-Music, Tustin high school music department. "Status of the Competitive Nut Industries, Domestic and Foreign," Carlyle Thorpe, manager California Walnut Growers' Association. "Results of Thinning Closely Planted Old Groves," Harold E. Wahlberg, farm advisor, Orange county. "The Trend of New Walnut Plantings," W. B. Hooper, specialist in walnut culture, agricultural extension service. "What It Costs to Raise Walnuts," L. W. Fluharty, farm management demonstrator, agricultural extension service. Western Regional Bureau Conference Urgging the American Farm Bureau Federation to request a congressional investigation of the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank at Berkeley, was the outstanding action of the Western Regional Farm Bureau Conference just closed at Phoenix, Arizona, according to A. M. Stanley, secretary of the Orange County Farm Bureau, who represented California at the meeting. The resolution asking for the investigation made no charges other than the statement that applications for loans by California corporations had been seriously hampered. The convention also passed a strong resolution expressing their belief in the economic soundness of the McNary-Haunen bill and urged President...

The horticultural office will be represented by W. H. Wright, who has just completed a survey of packing house records showing the efficiency of control measures in Orange county last year. The grower angle will be advanced by J. A. Smiley, chairman of the special grower committee, appointed last year at a walnut growers' mass meeting to outline methods of curtailing the worm pests. This committee will offer recommendations to Orange county growers for the 1927 season. Standardization Rullings Certain changes in the grade standards have been set for 1927. A. J. McFadden, chairman of the standardization committee, has recently headed a committee that has covered the entire state to get the reaction of walnut growers on the new grade standards. The report of this committee will be given at the institute. Other phases of the industry will be presented by H. E. Wahlberg, Orange county farm advisor, and W. B. Hooper, specialist in walnut culture. S. W. Stanley, Tustin, has arranged for several musical numbers on the program by high school students of Tustin. Lunch will be served by the cafeteria of the high school. All growers of this district are invited and urged to attend. The detailed program follows: Program Chairman—John P. Thille, chairman Inter-County Walnut Growers' Department of the Farm Bureau. 10:00 a.m.—Greetings, Roy Bishop, president Orange County Farm Bureau. A discussion of the public land question and the policy maintained by the department of agriculture for land settlement was led by Thomas J. Brough of Lyman, Wyo. Mr. Brough maintained that under the present policy it was impossible to acquire sufficient land to profitably conduct stock raising. He stated that there is a large area in western United States which is not suitable for agricultural purposes and cannot be utilized under the present laws for any other purpose. He suggested that qualifications for entry should be passed on such improvement as providing water reservoirs, reforestation and range development, rather than seven months' annual residence as at present. The principal object of the convention was for the purpose of discussing western agricultural problems and organization methods. Those in attendance received inspiration as well as method of securing greater membership in the various organizations. Emphasis was placed on the advantages obtained by the women working through the organization. Mrs. Charles W. Sowell, national chairman of the home and community department, and Mrs. Florence Bovett, west- HOSIERY —in the new Spring colors, in an unlimited variety of shades.

Fancy or plain kids in all the latest shades, as well as the ever popular satins and patents. The S.Q.R. Store ANAHEIM GAZETTE ern representative of the same department, pointed out that the women's division was not an auxiliary, but an integral part of the organization, and they urged all farm women to concentrate their efforts through the farm bureau. Ways and methods of benefiting the agricultural women were discussed by these speakers. The latest information on membership campaigns and the urgency of a greater organization was expressed by all the speakers on the program. The delegates were royally entertained by the Arizona Farm Bureau Federation. The convention began with a tour of the Yuma valley project, on Monday. The following day the business session convened at Phoenix. The trip to the Roosevelt dam was a very inspiring one. Here it was learned that the Salt River Valley Water Users' Association, comprising 7200 members, were conducting a project to provide water for 42,000 acres of land adjacent to Phoenix. This water development was begun when the government built the Roosevelt dam, which project was afterwards taken over by the association, and the association began developing power which they sold to such a profit that last year their water cost them $700,000—less than nothing when one considers the capital investment made by the users. The association is now building a 360-foot dam at Horse Mesa for the purpose of developing more power. This dam is 190 feet higher than the Mormon Flat dam, which they built a few years ago. The project includes the erection of a fourth dam, which will make it possible for them to fully utilize the water of the Salt river in creating power and holding it for irrigation purposes. The association also develops power on a number of their canals. The Salt river lends itself readily to this development, as flows through a miniature grand canyon for many miles. Solid rock walls ranging up to 1200 feet in height provide numerous dam sites as well as the scenic beauty equalled only by the Grand Canyon. On the return from the conference a number of delegates were met at Yuma and taken over the Imperial valley project, being shown the diversion gates, canals and levees maintained by the Imperial district on the Colorado river. The trip included a 30-mile ride on a handcar down to the Bee river, the scene of the famous break in 1908, and the delegation was impressed with the information that only the narrow strip of land some 14 feet wide, on which they stood, prevented the Colorado river from taking Imperial valley off the tax roll. It was pointed out that the All-American canal would eliminate this menace and the institution of the Boulder canyon dam would prevent the necessity of spending four million dollars a year to handle the silt problem as at present. The police raided the night clubs at Miami the other night and found a lot of guests, which indicates that in spite of all rumors Florida is not flat broke. Tractor Horsepower Capacity Tests Made At the recent series of one-day tractor schools held by the agricultural extension service, the use of air cleaners, oil cleaners and rectifiers were discussed. The experiment station at Davis is becoming to be recognized as the official air cleaner testing station as the Nebraska station is recognized as the official tractor horsepower rating testing station. The foreoon was taken up in illustrating the manner of motor testing and repairing, together with discussions on oils, lubrication and air cleaners. The afternoon at one of the schools the tractor drawbar horsepower tests were made. The group attending was interested in the manner in which these tests were made and was interesting in learning how nearly the tractors in their present condition were delivering their rated horsepower. Since the tractor is being most economically operated if the load is such as to require approximately its rated capacity, occasional testing would be helpful to the operator to determine the condition in which the machine is in. The use of a dynamometer to determine the pounds pull of different pieces of equipment will give the operator an idea as to the speed in which the tractor should work. Oftentimes in purchasing tractor drawn tools, too large a tool is bought or the opposite may be true. In either case, there economic strain is and when drawn, tween the tractor and done in one.
